They were really good tonight. Very tight. Great vocals. I would say it was better than the Charlotte Elevation gig.

 

[c4veritas]

Aww they stopped playing instant karma

 

[ponkine]

Only 21 songs????? It seems to be a very short show

 

[One Kitty Kat]

They had the words to "Instant Karma" on Bono's monitor, but then changed it. It was sad because we always want one more song.

 

[Harry Vest]

Has "Bad" all but disappeared???

 

[Nube Gris]

they're saving it to south america

 

[Carek1230]

Hmmmmm no surprises, short set list. Hope they are saving energy for Portland!

 

[22pride]

the whole show beginning to look very predictable...BAD was done 12-4 in Boston ..now that was a GREAT show

Could have been that I was one person off the rail, could have been that I was home in NC, could have been delirium after spending 8 hours in the cold & getting rained on, but I though last night's show blew the roof off the Charlotte Arena! The crowd was great, the band was great, it just completely blew us away (Mr. Blu & myself).

I know this much - I have one newly converted diehard U2 fan on my hands. He's already made comments about wanting to figure how we could afford airfare & tickets for another show!

 

[One Kitty Kat]

I only started feeling feelings of disappointment when I started reading folks' comments on here. Thank you, Blrmgrl, for reminding me of the fantastic time it was! I had a blast taking my 14-year-old son to his first concert ever -- what a way to start! He was blown away!
